How can I use the same name to identify two USB-6343 DAQ's?

I have two DAQ USB-6343 to use for an application. When I try to identify the devices and use the tasks it doesn't allow me as MAX assigns a default name for each of it like Dev1, Dev2.

 

Is there a name that can be used for both of them or any property node that will help identify it that way and not the MAX assigned name?

1. You can always rename them in MAX.

2. The devices must have different names.  If they shared a name, there would be no way to know which one you were trying to use.

3. You can use the a DAQmx System property node to get an array of devices.  From there, you can use a DAQmx Device property node inside of a FOR loop get all kinds of information (such as Serial Number) you could potentially use to determine which DAQ to use.
